Mortimer 2 Chair's Letter Thank you to everyone who helped our big fundraising effort at The Summer Fair at St Crux, particularly everyone who staffed stalls and the refreshment area and to those who provided delicious jam, beautifully handcrafted items and books and other objects to sell. In particular I wish to warmly thank Jenny Denton for many years organising and leading excellent day trips with her husband Peter and sadly on her own over the last few months.
